The reason to stay away from this, of course, is that if you support the war in Iraq and other boondoogles, you realize that we can't have most of these things. People are not only going to have to not only to do withou them, they are going to have to pay higher taxes and see further cuts in benefits so that Iraqis can have "health care, housing, education, and jobs," if you're silly enough to believe that was ever the purpose. From now on, people who support the President's Iraq policy need to follow it up immediately with: "And I support greatly increased taxes and reduced benefits to pay for it." Otherwise, they have no credibility. High taxes. Savage brutality towards the poor. That's the price at home for our great adventures abroad. Get used to it. 48697@blogcritics.org Wed, 3 Mar 2004 14:04:19 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/03/03/131105.php#comment-48692 So what's wrong with #7, Eric? It's a bit large reaching, but it is possible to just skip over #5 and then go on to think beyond the benefits accorded by a union card. 48692@blogcritics.org Wed, 3 Mar 2004 13:44:40 EST
